Opera, latest Version, no Unicode Display of Domain-Names, so no problem with Opera.

Interesting... IE caught it and through a warning when I clicked the link. But when I copied the link to paste it into FireFox it came off the Windows clipboard as apple.com.
That can't be good..

The browser that he's using to show the vulnerability appears to be Firefox.

The screenshot I took was from Tor browser, which is indeed based on Firefox.

Actually the point I was driving at is the Windows shell itself fell for the exploit when I put the link on the Windows Clipboard and pasted it into the FireFox address bar. FF never got a chance to pass/fail, it was just being used for an edit field.
Case in point, copy the link to the clipboard and paste it into Notepad … It comes off the clipboard as apple.com
